Criminal Minds: DIS Official Thread 2 (Spoilers)


TG's statement about his firing:

Thomas Gibson has for the first time shared his take on the on-set incident that resulted in him first getting suspended, and then fired, from CBS’ Criminal Minds, after an 11-year run.

Aaron “Hotch” Hotchner’s portrayer tells People.com that on July 26, while filming the second episode of the upcoming 12th season, he questioned a line of dialogue, but was overruled by co-executive producer/writer Virgil Williams. Later, when Gibson was relating the differing of opinions to castmates, Williams “came into that room and started coming towards me. As he brushed past me, my foot came up and tapped him on the leg. If I hadn’t moved, he would have run into me,” the actor says.

Following said “kick,” “We had some choice words, for which I apologized the next day, and that was it. It was over,” Gibson says. “We shot the scene, I went home — and I never got to go back,” suspended as he originally was for two episodes, before eventually being fired, as announced on Aug. 12.

As a result, the “temporary” special assignment that was to take Hotch off-screen for two episodes will somehow dovetail into the character’s permanent exit. Paget Brewster, who was already on her way back to the CBS drama as Emily Prentiss, to temporarily cover for Hotch during his absence, was subsequently upgraded to series regular status. CBS isn’t saying how exactly Hotch will be written out, but TVLine offered some ideas in the photo gallery below.

“It seems like they’re trying to erase me from the show,” Gibson told People.com. “My pride and reputation are hurt, but in the end I know the good work is what people will remember. I just need more opportunities to do good work and be a good guy.”
 
This came out a while ago. TMZ camped out in front of Shemar's gym, waiting for him, after the whole TG incident and Shemar deleting the selfie video he posted.

I was right, he said the video was NOT about Thomas Gibson. He said it "could" be about the guy he had sued. :rolleyes1 He talked very carefully as he was being filmed, lest he say something about the guy he sued, in a way that would get a reprimand from his own lawyer. And he was careful in keeping mum about saying anything about TG, in case that lands him in hot water with CM, (as the whole cast must have been told not to say anything about him,) as Shemar says the door has been left open for him to possibly come back to the show from time to time.
 

From MGG's Instagram... "mom is coming back to drive carpool" :lmao:

The idea of Reid's mom driving scares me! :scared:

So, are they getting rid of her having Alzheimer's, Like she's been mis-diagnosed? Or are they going to have a couple episodes where she's declining again, and Spencer is worried about that happening to him? :(
 
I'm going to be at work. I'll have to join you gals sometime after the show, once I get to see it.

Have a great premiere! :yay:
